phase 1 sucks.

last night i toured a local facility that provides phase 1 clinical trials testing (for school). the facility was nice, if you are into the smell of hospital food mixed with the look of a sanitarium mixed with 20-somethings packed 4 to a room the size of what i remember dorms being. i guess people will do anything for money...including taking medicine that has only been used in animals prior.

don't get me wrong, i'm glad that they do it. but i had a stomach ache until i finally went to bed because of the thought of being couped up in that place for 2-4 weeks.

i still haven't decided if i'll write a letter for entry into fat tire. i love the race, but maybe not getting in is a sign that i should do something else this year.

i'm really getting sick of this semester. work and school have worn me down to a nub. i'm out of shape and when i do have a free couple of hours i don't feel like training. on top of that, my weekends aren't my own anymore...we've got many weekends full already and we have just barely pulled up out of winter weather. speaking of which, i need to dethatch my yard. yuck.

i've just depressed myself...i'm going to starbucks.

happy thursday.
